Shame-focused Coping Article: An Important Source

An Important Source I have found in my research is “Shame-focused Coping: An Empirical Study of the Compass of Shame” by Jeff Elison of Southern Utah University and Steven Polus and Randy Lennon of the University of Northern Colorado. This article includes great descriptions of the script theory in shame theory, and this is really helpful in seeing the different ways in which one deals with shame. Also, I was able to figure out which scripts Thor displays throughout the film, and how his reactions to shame are the most important aspect of the shame event. His reactions definitely help shape his character in numerous ways throughout the film.
